Happy New Year, everyone. Some good news to share with you all:
Jumpala now has a release date! You'll be able to download the full version of the game on January 19th, 2021! Wishlist now so that you can get it as soon as it's released.
I'm also excited to announce that Jumpala has a publisher! The awesome folks over at Versus Evil (The Banner Saga, Pillars of Eternity, Cardpocalypse) have jumped on board to help make Jumpala a success.
Changes
The last few weeks have been spent polishing up the game for release. Dozens of bugs have been fixed, some menus and sprite animations have been tweaked, and some small gameplay changes have been implemented as well. Here are the most pertinent ones:
UI/UX Enhancements
* Banned stages now persist between games
* Character Select now shows CPU level
Character Changes
* Reduced Time's ultimate startup by 1 frame
* Fixed a bug where Lola's dash and slash doesn't always kill multiple players on the same platform
* Fixed a bug where Reese gets stuck when scampering at the end of a row
* Lola's ult now targets the platform she is on as well. However, it will not hit a player if they are standing in the same position (left, right, middle) as Lola.
* Cid's ult now passes through moving platforms on Abandoned Servers
* Fixed a bug where Ribbon's Steal could work on invincible players
* Lola now has a ~2 frame grace period where using Line Strike after pressing jump will still claim platforms
We're nearing the finish line! Can't wait to see you all on the 19th.
